Sixteen years have passed since June 18, 2007, in Charleston, South Carolina, where 9 Firefighters perished in a furniture store fire. The instructor of this course, who was the engineer of the first-arriving engine on that fateful day, relates how this experience has changed organizational culture, response, education, resiliency, and training in the modern environment of emergency services. He gives a riveting account of what he witnessed that day as the first due-engineer, and the crisis that ensued in his organization and his personal life as well. How do you make sense of something like this? For those who experienced it, there were many different responses. We must remember, everyone responds to trauma differently so the way we cope with it is different as well. There is no exact process that everyone can follow. There is a journey for each respective person to find peace with the turmoil a tragedy like this presents. Sixteen years later, I’m still in the department I love, now as an Assistant Chief after progressing through every operational rank since June 18, 2007. Organizationally, we have lost 191 firefighters who were on the job on June 18, 2007. This was a life-changing event for so many people but for the 55 who are still in the department, we are now leading with these hard lessons we learned. Attendees will share in not only the pain of this occurrence, but also the triumph reflected in changes in numerous aspects of organizational culture over the last 16 years. This course and the information is timeless. No matter what rank you are, how many years you have on the job, or the fact that this event was 16 years ago, you will see yourself at some point in your career in this class. Please take the time to learn and honor 9 great men who made the ultimate sacrifice. |

If you are searching for an exceptional leadership program that will deliver these vital capabilities in a forum different from the typical uninspiring and predictable human resource based training session then this is the course for you. Using an interactive forum and years of experience in volunteer, career, and combination type fire departments the instructors will discuss the leadership traits, styles, and emotional intelligence necessary to turn department members into effective followers, cohesive teams, and organizational all-stars. The theory of “You Own It All” leadership in which bosses accept the crucial responsibility of ensuring their subordinates are well trained, disciplined, support department goals and objectives, and remain consistently prepared will be identified and examined. Additional program elements include sections on discipline, building robust relationships, coaching, mentoring, communication, and the recognition of several other leadership methodologies such as respect, loyalty, trust, honesty, and empowerment that foster team building and company and organizational excellence. While many of us wish the days of “because I said so” leadership and management still thrived in the fire service the reality is that we will never see those times again. Today’s employees are smarter, more communicative, better educated, socially adept, and inquisitive. Join us for a dynamic, group based discussion on how to become the type of company officer and fire department executive who is capable of surviving in today’s fire service and fire prevention leadership world. |

If you are searching for an exceptional leadership program that will deliver these vital capabilities in a forum different from the typical uninspiring and predictable human resource based training session then this is the course for you. Using an interactive forum and years of experience in volunteer, career, and combination type fire departments the instructors will discuss the leadership traits, styles, and emotional intelligence necessary to turn department members into effective followers, cohesive teams, and organizational all-stars. The theory of “You Own It All” leadership in which bosses accept the crucial responsibility of ensuring their subordinates are well trained, disciplined, support department goals and objectives, and remain consistently prepared will be identified and examined. Additional program elements include sections on discipline, building robust relationships, coaching, mentoring, communication, and the recognition of several other leadership methodologies such as respect, loyalty, trust, honesty, and empowerment that foster team building and company and organizational excellence. While many of us wish the days of “because I said so” leadership and management still thrived in the fire service the reality is that we will never see those times again. Today’s employees are smarter, more communicative, better educated, socially adept, and inquisitive. Join us for a dynamic, group based discussion on how to become the type of company officer and fire department executive who is capable of surviving in today’s fire service and fire prevention leadership world. |

Being able to feel comfortable in that atmosphere takes preparation, practice and presentation skills. Knowing the subject, and having the knowledge, the experience, and the background to say it correctly is probably not the issue at hand it's knowing how to say it, and how to present the topic and the material so that others understand that often is the problem for the speaker/presenter. |
